Heraklion to Elafonissos

by Bee
(London)

Hello

I am planning to travel to Heraklion with my boyfriend to visit my friend who works on the site at Knossos in early June. We will be staying with her for 4 to 5 days in the centre of Heraklion town.

After this we would like to spend another 5 days somewhere more relaxing, pref. on the beach but will need to traval by public transport. Do you have any suggestions for somewhere easily accessible via public transport that is not 'party central' but has a beach a small town and somes bars etc.

I love the look of Elafonissos as suggested by my friend but having looked I think without a car this may be unrealistic?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Bee

Mirtos or Sougia maybe Agia Pelagia Beach
by: Anonymous

Hello,

I would say - look at Mirtos near Ierapetra

Maybe Agia Pelagia in Heraklion

Or at Sougia in Chania

Hi Bee,

Thanks for writing to us at We Love Crete.

It sounds like an interesting stay you will have visiting Knossos and Heraklion with your friend.

Well there are so many choices for a 4 to 5 day stay at the beach. We understand you need to take public transport.

We suggest the following places all over the island - from west to east...

Kastelli Kissamos

Paleochora (from where you can visit Elafonisos)

Kalives

Panormos

Agia Pelagia

Matala

Elounda

Kato Zakros (all the way in the east)


Each one you can get to by public bus and each one has nice beaches, some have more of a bit of town than the others...

The info pages you will need to decide are:

And here is the bus page

Kalo Taxidi! Bon Voyage!
